Sewer line project underway at Viking School Patricia Harcourt Editor

The sewer construction project is underway and Viking School has had to make some adjustments along the way. School buses normally disembark their passengers in the parking area adjacent to the school entrance. However during the construction the buses have had to line up on the south side of 54 Avenue across from the community hall. Congestion the last week has been more apparent as parents come to pick up their children and other students go out the south door to access their bus to go home. Crosswalk guards are kept busy ensuring everybody’s safety as they navigate the roadways in front of

the school. The road in front of the main entrance was closed as crews started digging from there west down 55 Avenue Phase 1 of the water and sewer infrastructure project is taking place on-site and nearby the Viking School. The first phase affects the intersection of 55 Avenue and 51 Street, which intersects in front of the school. The barriers went up early last week and access to the school became limited from that vantage point. Residents living in that area could have their services affected as water may be disrupted for four hours in estimation. Phase 1 was expected to be completed by Friday of this week (Oct. 11) with work still ongoing this week.

Phase 2 will start at 56 Avenue and Main Street (50 St.) to run an underground sewer line across the school grounds ending at 56 Avenue and 51 Street. The contractor will set up a detour with fencing and barricades, and is slated to start Monday, October 7. Work is set to be completed by Friday, Oct. 18. The area affected in the school grounds will be fenced off with snow fence over the winter and the contractor will seed those grounds in the spring. The work is being done under the Town of Viking’s 5-year plan. CAO Doug Lefsrud updated the work Tuesday, stating: “We are ahead of schedule,” with Phase 1 work in the completion stages. The contractor was busy backfilling

on Tuesday after replacing sewer lines for four residences closest to the school heading west. The street fronting the school is expected to be open in time for the school awards night on Friday. The road is not expected to be paved until next year, but is included in the cost of the entire project which is set at $730,000 for both phase 1 and 2. “The school has been so good about everything,” Lefsrud said, such as changing their bus route and bumping their schedule around to suit the situation outside. Lefsrud said Phase 2 is all about putting in a new sewer line across the school grounds from 50 Street to 51 Street parallel to 56 Avenue. It will tie into the manhole just to the north of the school and the new one Continued on Page 2

Sewer Work Continued from Front recently installed with the work in front of the school on 55 Avenue.

“Phase 1 manhole in front of the school will connect with Phase 2 manhole to the north of the school,” he said, to tie-in the new sewer line. Eventually, the old sewer line under the school will be isolated and the new line will take over completely. Lefsrud explained that there were

concerns about the current sewer line under the school collapsing, and the town used a camera to go inside and take pictures of that line. “So the (current) line will stay operable under the school but eventually will be isolated and re-routed to the new sewer line,” he said, likely next year

Lefsrud responded to the only criticism regarding the project which pertained to concern over the state of the school grounds. “The school property will be turned back to its original state and work in the spring will include seeding the grounds,” he said.

Claystone’s community grants program continues Cassandra Lundbek Staff Reporter

Claystone Waste Ltd's Community Grants Program has provided funding for a wide range of local initiatives. The program has supported community events, repairs to historic and community buildings, technology including computers and printers, utility costs, new appliances for community halls, and emergency medical response equipment. Notably, it contributed $9,000 towards the LUCAS 3 CPR device for the Beaver Ambulance Society. The company began offering community grants in 2014, coincid-

ing with its transition to Beaver Municipal Services, and has continued this support through its evolution to Claystone Waste Ltd in 2020 and beyond. “Claystone started as a collaboration among neighbours and neighbouring communities. Even though we’ve grown in scale, we embrace this mindset in everything we do. We know that we’re a part of the whole and that our role in society isn’t just about the waste we remove – it’s about the positive impact we can make in the lives of individuals and communities, too,” said Jackie Sargent, Communication and Public Relations

Adviser with Claystone Waste Ltd. Not-for-profit organizations in Beaver County are eligible to apply for grants at three levels: micro-grants of $200 or less, which are reviewed year-round; community grants ranging from $200 to $2,500; and partnership grants for larger projects, events, or initiatives exceeding $2,500, which are reviewed in June and December. Sargent noted, “To make the application process easier, we have created an online form for both the MicroGrants and for the Community and Partnership Grants. Since announcing the fall intake, we have already

received a couple of applications, but we hope to see more coming over the next few

weeks.” Links to the forms and full details of the application process can be found on the

Four injured in collision

Shortly after 3 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 3, St. Paul RCMP responded to a serious collision involving two vehicles on Highway 28 near Range Road 94. Four individuals were injured during the accident, and all were transported to nearby hospitals for their injuries. The collision is still under investigation at this time, however it does not appear that drugs or alcohol were a factor.

Police receive complaint of theft REDUCED REDUCED at property in Kinsella

$415,000

On September 30, police received a complaint about a person failing to comply with a court order. Police spoke with the complainant; however, did not have enough evidence to pursue a charge. On October 1, police received a complaint of a domestic dispute in Viking. Police attended and spoke with the victim and learned the male in question had already departed the scene. The male later turned himself in to the Viking Detachment and was taken into custody. He was remanded and is facing one count of Assault and will be appearing in Vegreville Provincial Court this week. Later that morning, police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 14. Police made a patrol and located the vehicle in question. The driver was warned about his driving behaviour and the complainant was updated. That same day, police received a complaint of a theft at a property in Kinsella. The complainant advised someone attended his property and stole a jerry can from in front of his garage. The investigation into this matter is ongoing. Early on October 2, police received a request to conduct a wellbeing check on a female who hadn’t returned to her home the previous night. The complainant advised he believed the female was with friends at another residence in Viking and he wanted police to attend and

bring her home. Police advised the complainant they do not have the authority to remove the female without her consent. On October 3, police received a complaint of hunters trespassing on property with public access. Police attended and determined the location was actually private property and the hunters had permission to be there. That afternoon, police received a complaint of dangerous driving in Viking. The complainant advised she was calling on behalf of some youth who had told her that while driving around town, they had been followed and chased by another vehicle. This matter is still under

investigation. On October 4, police received a complaint of an assault that had taken place in the Bruce area a few weeks prior. Police are continuing their investigation into this matter. That afternoon, police received a report of youth trespassing on private property and climbing onto a roof and a sea can behind a business in Viking. Police made patrols in the area but the youth were no longer on scene. That night, police were dispatched to an assault that had just occurred in Viking. A male was taken into custody and charges are pending. Also that night, police received a com-

plaint of a break and enter at a residence in Viking. Police are continuing to investigate this matter. On October 6, police received a complaint of sexual interference involving a youth. The investigation into this matter is ongoing. That night, police received a complaint of a possible impaired driver eastbound on Highway 14. Police located the vehicle in question parked on the shoulder of the roadway just east of Viking. The male driver was spoken to and appeared to be suffering with mental health issues. EMS attended and transported the male to the hospital in Camrose and police had the vehicle towed.

DaysArts provides sneak peek at ‘24-’25 concert series Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter

DaysArts hosted a volunteer recognition event at the Palace Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 3 Guests had the opportunity to relax with a glass of their favourite beverage, and take in a tour of the building before The River Jacks, a local and well-known band, took to the stage for a single entertaining set. The event wasn’t just to honour the many volunteers who keep the Palace Theatre’s movie nights, and DaysArts Concert Series running smoothly, but was also an opportunity to introduce this year’s concert series. The River Jacks volunteered their time and before the set, band member Tom Lichak said, “The best thing about music is to share it with people you like.” The band proceeded to do just that, starting out with their cover of ‘What a Feeling,’ then moving to perennial favourite ‘Footloose.’ Before they were done the set there was a little bit of everything, even some ‘Dancing Queen’ from Abba. Following the band was a short film featuring the upcoming season, which will start Tuesday, Oct. 29 with returning favourites ‘Blue Moon Marquee.’ Fresh off winning a Juno award for Blues Album of the Year, the sweet smooth sound of ‘Nawlins jazz combined with the raspy tones of A.W. Cardinal and sultry voice of Jasmine Colette will fill the Palace Theatre Stage with a night of swing, jumps, and grooves.

Concert number two has a distinctly Canadiana theme, with ‘Jack Semple Plays Lightfoot,’ a tribute to the late Gordon Lightfoot. Semple travels with the Jack Semple band, and together they will lead the audience on a musical journey through Lightfoot’s hits, “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Sundown,” and even “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” along with so many more familiar and wellloved songs. January brings ‘Molly’s Comedy Cabaret,’ where comedienne and singer Molly Wilson will keep you doubled over in laughter. Is it improv? Is it musical theatre, or is it standup comedy? Whatever it is, it’s sure to get you belly laughing. February brings

‘Piano Heist’ where two lifelong buddies, Nico Rhodes and Patrick Courtin, are on a mission to make the piano cool again. Rhodes and Courtin deliver everything from classical piano to boogie woogie in a show that mixes in a little bit of everything. Chopin in ragtime? Liszt at the Hoedown? As one past audience member said, “Comedy is sharp, hilarity ensues!” The Ides of March (or just after) bring ‘Becoming the Beatles,’ and untold stories behind “some of the most influential musical artists the world has ever known,” featuring 20 live songs, 300 projected images, and an unforgettable story. This unique presentation combines concert and storytelling and shouldn’t be missed! April brings the last

Grant funds help purchase Beaver Ambulance chest compression device Kari Janzen

Staff Reporter

The Beaver Ambulance Society (BAS) recently purchased a Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System (LUCAS) 3, a chest compression system, with help from Claystone Waste’s Community Grant Program. “The total cost of the LUCAS 3 was approximately $20,000, of which Claystone contributed $9,000,” Claystone’s news release says. BAS Chief Administrative Officer Crystal Stevenson said the remainder of the LUCAS 3 purchase came out of capital reserves. Stevenson also said that the device is especially useful for small crews travelling long distances. “LUCAS machines are literally game changers in the resuscitation. It performs perfect CPR and does not require all the hands and manual work involved to perform it. For our rural Emergency Medical Services (EMS) crews, for a crew of two paramedics responding

and no available back up for miles around to call for extra help, this gives our community members the best possible outcome in this type of medical emergency,” Stevenson said. The Claystone release says the LUCAS 3 is able to provide consistent and continuous chest compressions to the patient on scene, during transport and treatment. “The device replaces the need for emergency personnel to perform the procedure manually, which requires switching off every two minutes to ensure high quality chest compressions. The device also frees up hands to perform other medical interventions.” The device will be used by a Beaver EMS unit in Viking, as the Claystone release said Viking has a small crew. “The first LUCAS 3 will go to the unit that serves the Viking region as they have a smaller crew and a longer travel distance. For now, the other ambulances will continue to use the older LUCAS 2 devices, which are still functional, but at

10 to 12 years old, are starting to age out,” the release says. Stevenson said BAS is looking to purchase two more LUCAS 3 devices, to replaced their current LUCAS 2s. “We are needing to purchase two more to replace our existing LUCAS 2, as the equipment is nearing it’s ‘end of life.’ This is extra equipment we have on the ambulances that are outside of the regular funding we receive from Alberta Health Services,” she said. On Tuesday September 24, Claystone Chief Executive Officer Corey Popick, Village of Ryley Councillor Kim Murphy, then-councillor Stephanie Dennis, and then-mayor Lyndie Knockleby, visited Beaver EMS to watch a demonstration of the new LUCAS 3. “It was fascinating hearing the EMS personnel describe the uses and benefits of the LUCAS 3,” said Popick, as provided by Claystone’s news release. “Performing CPR can be physically demanding, especially for smaller ambulance crews, and having this device replace

manual compressions can literally be the difference between life and death.” Popick also noted that the LUCAS 3 eliminates the need to momentarily stop chest compressions when using a defibrillator. “You’ve probably seen CPR being done in movies and tv shows, and usually someone yells ‘clear’ when they are about to use a defibrillator on the patient. The medical team has to stop the compressions and step back because it is dangerous to shock anyone other

than the patient. With the LUCAS 3, the patient can receive the treatment without any interruption of the CPR as the device isn’t impacted by the electric shock,” Popick said. “When you sign off on a grant like this, you have an idea what it is for, but the impact of it really hits you when you see it in action. I am grateful that BAS put forward their application for a grant as this device will have an important role in our community and we at Claystone are proud to support our first responders.”

Carbon capture meeting provides update Patricia Harcourt The latest meeting on a carbon capture project that would see sequestration of carbon dioxide in the local region provided an update on upcoming fall and winter activity. A supper meeting was held on Thursday, Oct. 3, at the Viking Community Hall to explain next steps that involve testing underground where rock strata could potentially store CO2, building a pipeline to transport it to the area, and ensuring the necessary infrastructure will be in place to inject it four to six kilometres into the ground. Carbon dioxide emissions would be shipped to this part of East Central Alberta via pipeline from industrial activity in the heartland region of the province. On June 26, Shell announced the final investment decision for Polaris carbon capture project and Atlas Carbon Storage Hub. The Hub is owned by Shell and Atco which is spearheading the carbon capture project for this area. Shell has proposed a carbon capture project called Polaris with carbon dioxide emissions to be stored with the Atlas Carbon Storage Hub. Geophysicist Alexa Tomlinson said the company plans to collect 3-D seismic data this fall to determine if the rock formations under the soil are good CO2 sequestration material. “This is an exciting year,” she said, referring to where the project is currently at in terms of progress. “We first need a well…We will drill and bring up rock to see what is there.” Once the drilling down into the well, built in August, is occurs, “we’ll cut a tube of rock,” which will provide “critical data for us.” she said, and

will be sent to the lab for testing. “Ultimately, (the rock samples) will be cut in half and then determined how much CO2 can be stored there,” she said, in the rock cavities. The salt water that is now in the underground rock formations will be removed to give space for the sequestration of carbon dioxide. Other testing will be done, including bringing up water samples, “to see how it moves through the rocks.” Tomlinson said that this winter seismic activity would also be conducted. This involves company officials reaching out to landowners for permission to do these tests on their property. Employees will use snowmobiles to access the land do preseismic water testing. After the New Year seismic trucks will come out to send vibrations into the ground to provide pictures of what is in that ground. “In order to bring CO2 here we are going to have to build a pipeline,” she added. The pipeline aspect of this project has piqued the interest of Beaver County in terms of wanting to explore a mutual collaboration. All five councillors on Beaver County Council attended the meeting. During the question and answer period, Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) inquired about using this yet to be built pipeline for also bringing in water for the local area along with the CO2 for the carbon capture project. “I challenged the pipeline guy about bringing processed water in,” he said, “but I got no answer back.” He noted that the county already has a potable water pipeline running through to service local towns and villages, and questioned why more pipelines couldn’t do the same.

Members of Beaver County Council attended the meeting on carbon capture at the Viking Community Hall last Thursday. Division 3 Councillor and Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec Hrabec asked a question concerning using the pipeline that would carry CO2 to the local sequestration sites for other purposes.

Company officials agreed to meet with the county after the meeting. In the meantime, another attendee asked where the salt water would be taken once it is removed from underground to make way for carbon sequestration. The answer included a statement that there would be a natural dissipation of much of the water, which would be put into containment areas. Another person expressed concern about good farmland being used up in the process of carbon capture. “We are not looking for areas where there is good farmland (to use),” said Tomlinson, adding: “The work is mainly underground.” What is being done on the surface is just a point of injection, she said, “so it is not in a concentrated area...We’ll be testing deep…not on the surface.” Beaver County has been exploring other avenues of water for economic development and other purposes for the past couple of years.Earlier in the year, a 2024 Priorities Planning workshop was conducted. “During the workshop, it was determined that the investigation into alternate water sources is a priority,” manager of trans-

portation Dan Blackie stated at that time. The project is called the Water Viability Project and the purpose is to address the long term solutions for possible water shortages pertaining to human consumption, agriculture and industrial usage. Apart from drought issues, the county wants to increase its supply of water in order to carry out an economic development plan that includes an expansion of Equity Industrial Park, among other ideas as the county’s new economic development committee. sets to work. The Alberta government has stated that it “recognizes that water is a vital resource,” adding that in order to continue attracting investment and development, municipalities need modern and effective water treatment facilities, including high priority water supply projects, water and wastewater treatment plants,

and disposal facilities in small communities. Late last year Reeve Kevin Smook wrote a letter to Premier Danielle Smith concerning the county’s “current challenge of a secondary water supply to attract investment and development.” But the need for more water to accomplish this is not possible through the current deliverer of potable water, the Highway 14 Regional Water Services Commission. Smook said that line is “at capacity.” Smook has called a secondary supply of water “critical” to the county’s efforts to diversify its agricultural base, encourage economic development and ensure public safety. He asked the province to help the county explore opportunities for reusing processed water and said the county would advocate along with other municipal partners facing the same challenges.

4 - Beaver County Chronicle, October 9, 2024

Policy updates increase hall funding, promote county tourism Patricia Harcourt Beaver County officials continue to review policies as part of an ongoing project to update the procedures and bylaws that govern the county. The Centennial Settler Award Policy ADM-002 was rescinded before the new Policy CS-006 of the same name was adopted. “Council acknowledges the significant contribution made by settlers in Alberta and is proud to recognize the Centennial anniversary of settlers in Beaver County,” stated Aimee Boese, manager for external relations and special projects at the Sept. 18 meeting of county council. As part of the county’s policy review, Boese said the Settler Award needed minor revisions “to ensure that this policy is in alignment with other award/recognition policies,” the county has in place. This meant renumbering the policy and adding administrative procedures to outline how to administer the policy. The application form was updated to add amendments, and this form will be made separate from the policy to make it easier to change when necessary. A new policy regarding community hall funding was also accepted by county council. Policy REC-0003 and accompanying

administrative procedure was rescinded in favour of Policy CS-007, a new policy for community hall funding. “The county recognizes that rural community hall organizations are challenged to meet increasing operating costs and will provide financial support to assist with current needs related to insurance, utilities, and gravelling of accesses and parking lots,” stated Boese. Amendments to the community hall funding policy added clarity to the definitions and the guidelines for applicants, se said. And the application forms were updated to reflect any changes, and are to be kept separate for easier updating when needed. The annual amount for funding of insurance and utilities has been raised from $1,000 to $1,500 each, but “retain in-kind support for gravelling of accesses and parking lots.” The hall funding increase was made following a recommendation by the Governance and Priorities Committee. The Community Support Program was also updated with the rescinding of former policy ADM-003, and adoption of Policy CS-008. “Council appreciates the positive contributions that community organizations make to the quality of life in the Beaver County region,” stated Boese, and financial help may be required to further the goals of these

Council rejects fixed salaries idea Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council rescinded an older councillor remuneration policy (CCL-003) and, after much discussion, replaced it with an updated policy called GOV-006. “Over the last several months, the Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC) has carefully considered changes to the method by which councillors are paid,” stated Margaret Jones, manager of legislative services. GPC did a survey comparing other rural municipalities regarding rates and methods of remuneration. “Although the survey suggested that most municipalities are adopting fixed rate of remuneration, i.e. fixed monthly pay, the GPC has not been comfortable with that method,” said Jones. County Council adopted the GPC’s recommendation to keep the current method of payment at a per meeting rate for all council and committee meetings. There were also minor changes, she said, including holding future reviews of the remuneration rates to coincide with staff compensation reviews, replacing a three-ear review. Also, councillors who are appointed as alternate committee members will only be allowed to claim for attendance at a maximum of two committee meetings in addition to the meetings they attend to replace the regular appointee when he can’t make the meeting. The reeve and deputy reeve allowance

will compensate for time spent signing financial, contractual, and other documents and correspondence, without using the per meeting rate; and in recognition of the legislative responsibilities associated with their positions. Councillors will be allowed to attend Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ conventions without seeking approval from council. Council had set its remuneration rates, effective December 20, 2023, at $275.60 per meeting, as well as $575 per month for the Reeve’s monthly allowance; and $345 for the Deputy Reeve’s monthly allowance. Travel rates as set by Canada Revenue Agency, per kilometre are: $.70 for the first 5,000 kilometres; and $.64 after 5,000 kilometres. For campground or private accommodation, the rate was $90 per night. These rates will automatically be revisited at the upcoming organizational meeting on October 16. Council then turned to the fees, rates and charges set for county residents by passing second and third reading to Bylaw 24-1155. The bylaw now sets a fee for removal of an unauthorized approach. “It is difficult to determine the time required to remove an approach therefore, the fee has been set at actual cost,” stated Margaret Jones, manager of legislative services. Changes have also been made to the fees, rates and charges schedule as these have not been altered since 2010.

organizations. “Each year Beaver County establishes a budget for this program and eligible community organizations are able to apply for various supports from the county including capital/operating grants, event sponsorships, promotional items, and school requests.” Changes have been made to some donations, grants, or scholarships provided on a regular basis, she said. The GPC recommended removing grants that were no longer applicable and bringing in some annual event scholarships instead. “A revised list of annual community supports has been created and…will be included as Schedule ‘A’ of Policy CS-008,” said Boese. The application form for this policy has also been updated as a separate policy to make this process easier as well. Boese added that the new application form and policy will not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2025, “so as not to affect current fall applications.” She added: “The application deadline for the policy will remain at February 28 and September 30 of each year.” The budget for this year’s program was $75,000, she said, and comes from the county’s annual budget. Additional funding of $33,560 for the annual approved grants is a separate

budget item, said the report under financial implications. “Since the remaining budget has been sufficient in the past to fund requests, no additional funds are needed.” County Council agreed to also amend External Communications Policy CMM-002 “to create new social media accounts specifically dedicated to tourism,” as outlined by Communications Coordinator Tracy Popick. “These accounts will not only promote Beaver County assets such as the county’s campgrounds, but also highlight other tourism opportunities with the Beaver Region,” said Popick. The original policy came into being last fall but restricted the promotion of private companies on county social media sites. “Administration is proposing an amendment to the policy to allow for exceptions if tourism or economic development focused accounts or sites are created,” Popick explained. “The proposed accounts will be permitted to promote local businesses, events and attractions that contribute to the region’s tourism landscape,” she said. “Additionally, these policy changes will enable a greater focus on economic development initiatives through the appropriate accounts.”

Massive vessel transported from Tofield starting on Highway 14 Kari Janzen Staff Reporter

A 234 foot long, 25 foot wide, and 358 tonne vessel, known as Column V2176, was transported from Dacro Industries located in Tofield to the Shell Scotford Complex located northeast of Fort Saskatchewan on Monday, October 7. The 78-kilometre trip was estimated to take five hours. “This is the largest vessel for the Polaris Carbon Capture project, transported to the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park, Scotford from the Dacro Industries yard in Tofield,” Shell Canada Community Relations Advisor Janine King said. “Column V-2176 is a critical piece of equipment that will be used in the Polaris carbon capture process, which will capture about 650,000 tonnes of CO2 per year from the Scotford refinery,” she said. The vessel travelled from Dacro to Highway 14, to Secondary Highway 834, across Highway 16, west on Highway 15 through Chipman and Lamont, on Range Road 214 to the Shell Scotford entrance. “Once on site, the vessel will be placed in a vertical position mounted on a concrete foundation. Construction of the Polaris capture facility is ongoing and is expected to begin operations toward the end of 2028,” King said.

Dacro specializes in custom design and fabrication of pressure vessels and began operating out of Tofield in the fall of 2022. President Brian Purnell said the construction of this vessel began in early 2023. “Shell has been a leader in implementing carbon capture technology in Alberta. Dacro fabricated three large vessels for the Shell Polaris project and is very proud to be providing pressure vessels for the project. Dacro has also provided the pressure vessels for Quest, Shell’s first carbon capture project in Alberta,” he said. On June 26 Shell announced the Final Investment Decision (FID) for Polaris, the carbon capture project at Scotford, as well as the Atlas Carbon Storage Hub in partnership with ATCO EnPower. “The Atlas Carbon Storage Hub from Shell and ATCO EnPower intends to store CO2 emissions generated in the Alberta Industrial Heartland region. The first phase of Atlas will store CO2 emissions captured by Shell’s Polaris carbon capture project. CO2 emissions captured by Polaris will be sent to the Atlas Carbon Storage Hub via an approximately 22-kilometre pipeline to two storage wells located in Strathcona County. CO2 will be stored approximately two kilometres underground in the Basal Cambrian Sands, the same formation used to successfully store

CO2 from the Quest CCS facility currently operating at Shell Scotford,” King said. These projects began in order to reduce emissions from Shell’s operations. "Carbon capture and storage is a key technology to achieve the Paris Agreement climate goals,” said Huibert Vigeveno, Shell’s Downstream, Renewable and Energy Solutions Director. “The Polaris and Atlas projects are important steps in

reducing emissions from our own operations.” “Polaris and Atlas will build on the success of the Quest carbon capture and storage facility at Scotford, which has safely captured and stored more than nine million tonnes of CO2 from the Scotford upgrader since 2015 that would otherwise have been released into the atmosphere. Both projects are expected to begin operations toward the end of 2028,” King said.

The Weekly Review, Wednesday, October 9, 2024 - Page 13

New Royal Purple members FEATURED PROPERTIES Dawn Hodgins Eleven members met on October 1 for our regular monthly meeting. Under reports we heard that Emily and Dawn had delivered school items to the Holden Rural Academy. Principal Andersen also accepted a cheque for $500 to go towards bussing for their swimming in Ryley next spring. Doreen, with the assistance of Norm, delivered the hygiene items to the Food Bank. Chris and Dawn set up a table with Royal Purple information at the Carena registration night. There were lots of really interesting and informative tables there. Especially lots of assistance for local seniors to access. We are planning our 75th anniversary of volunteering in the Viking community for January 2025. More information and the exact date will be coming soon. We are planning a soup and sandwich event and invite the public to join us. It would be wonderful to see ladies who had joined the group over the years and who are not members now. With the help of Samantha at the town office, we plan to set up a Festival of Trees, at the Carena lobby, from December 1 to January 5. Local service

clubs and groups have been contacted and we hope to hear back from all 12 of them. Yes – we have space for 12 trees, some with power and some with no power. Our plan is to put a box under each tree for Food Bank collection. Trees will be judged by votes of the public. This year it will be for “bragging rights.” We will see how it all goes and maybe implement other ideas next year. It will be nice to see trees decorated to match the theme of your group. I know the Royal Purple tree will have lots of purple and white on it! Dawn and Jamie will attend the school awards and will present to the student who volunteers the most at school. We initiated two new members into our group and welcome them. Ladies Ronna Smith and Creeann Andersen are now part of Viking Royal Purple. New members are always welcome. If we had more active members we could plan many more events. Volunteers are the real heart of any community! Our group will be setting up a table for the Main Street Halloween treat giveaway for the little kids on October 31 around 3:15 p.m. Look for us on the street somewhere! It’s a busy month for our members.
